The C9 Parlor is made by hand in a boutique and small workshop and features solid mahogany back and sides. It is a concert-level instrument that features the best of modern and traditional guitar construction. The top on this beautiful classical guitar is a classic choice - solid cedar and fan-braced. This style of bracing (pioneered on classical guitars by Antonio de Torres Jurado) gives a far superior bass response and dynamics when compared to a ladder-braced classical. The neck is also made of cedar and is joined to the body using the Spanish heel method - another Torres invention. This is a more time-consuming method of construction where the guitar is built around the beck as opposed to simply being added on. This gives a strong and sturdy construction and makes the body and neck one cohesive piece which clearly has a positive effect on the resonance of the instrument.
This particular instrument has a reduced body size (7/8) and nut width (50mm), a C-shaped neck with a flat fingerboard and 12 frets to the body. The scale length is also shortened to 630mm (24.8") as opposed to 650mm (25.6"). Clearly this guitar is designed for the more traditional and experienced classical player but one who prefers or requires a smaller body. This is an excellent all-solid classical at a great price.
The guitar is fitted with a two-way truss rod so that the neck can be adjusted over time, if needed or desired. It ships with a high-quality set of Savarez strings and a polyfoam case that offers excellent protection whilst still being very light. Extra touches of beauty are added in the form of a pearloid 1920s style rosette and a high-gloss finish.
